The particular link you are referring to has had millions of hits. Maybe a dozen if that, have gone to that site from my web site, in the last year. So damm me to Hell for corrupting so many people. careful… watch those typos and bad grammar. That is not allowed on this board, unless previously approved by the rest of the board members! > [@](#): > > Rosie, if someone **can’t read** , how are they supposed to understand your threat… (Sorry, couldn’t resist the obvious one there) Yes, you are right. By READing I meant **COMPREHENSION** , which is why it went over your head, again. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by kellibelli \* > **rosie and the rest: Why do you stay here? Seriously? > Trying to keep this simple…** Because reading the threads helps me to appreciate the fact that NONE of you live anywhere near me. And another reason is to keep you entertained, which apparently, is very easy to do. Simple enough for you to understand?? LOL **You have NOTHING in common with the rest of us.** YES, thank God. **You have ALL said how much better you are than us** I never once posted that I was better than anyone here. I have merely pointed out the ability of other posters to make themselves look absolutely stupid, so that regard, I suppose that I have IMPLIED I’m better than you. LOL **What on earth keeps you coming here? You dont like any of us, we dont like you … Why stay?** Already asked and answered above. **Why do you do this stuff in public?** I didn’t start it, she did, and I’m telling MOM! \*\*Probably a waste of time, as they will just say: Why are you reading ma thread!!Whatever. \*\* DUH. And this ain’t ma’s thread, it’s our thread. So there. Nya Nya Nyaaaaaaaa. ---

Yick. I feel dirty for wasting the time and the bandwidth to do this.

Damn you to Hell Rosie! 🙂 This is the same feeble argument that software pirates have been using for years… “My contribution is but a tiny fraction of the total”. Let’s put it another way. Say I was a drug dealer. Small time mind you - not one of those pushers with millions of customers. So big deal if I string out a few kids on crack. Damn me to hell! Hmm… remind me to look up your grandkids in a few years. They might like some samples… > [@](#): > > careful… watch those typos and bad grammar. That is not allowed on this board, unless previously approved by the rest of the board members! Touche. :rolleyes: My spelling and grammar could be considered average at best. Certainly no better or worse than yours Rosie. I do have good math skills though. But why the personal attack? I have not hurled any insults towards you. I called you on a few issues that I had a problem with, and you come back criticizing my language skills. > [@](#): > > Yes, you are right. By READing I meant COMPREHENSION, which is why it went over your head, again Little tip for you Rosie. **SAY** what you **MEAN**. I noticed that over the course of this thread there have been several instances where you have come back against posters that found some, shall we say “holes” in your logic by saying “when I said X, what I really meant was Y. Boy are you all dumb that you didn’t catch that”. Heck, a quarter of the posts here could have been avoided have you been a little clearer. You also finished off with another, unfounded, personal attack as per your _motis operandi_ (which I am sure I spelled wrong). Anyways Rosie, our time is quickly coming to an end. Soon this thread will be closed due to limitations in the board software. I notice that you are actively making friends elsewhere here. Good for you. Until our paths cross again, I wish you… Well, maybe I’ll stop there. ---

You know, I’m over in another thread trying to convince people that the Pit is usually filled with very amusing and theraputic rants about the foibles of day-to-day living but in the meantime I got this monster casting a shadow over the whole forum. You have a continuation thread now? Great. It breeds. I’ll be keeping an eye on that one more closely than I have on this one.
